HL COW PATTY Allen Ranch, Bentwood Ranch, G&G Longhorns, Allen/Filip/Gravett Partnership 33 G&G Full Page Ad We want to welcome everyone to the first East Coast Longhorn Classic. This sale has developed into what it is this first year for a few reasons. One of the main reasons is the steady growth and enthusiastic participation that the market has seen East of the Mississippi. New breeders are getting involved in cattle on many levels and are vastly increasing the quality of their cattle at a pace we haven’t seen in years. This causes an increase in supply of quality cattle all across the country that people are looking for, and we wanted to give those breeders an economical way to promote those cattle. Decades ago when Tyson Leonard, Paul Babington, and Ben Gravett started producing Longhorn sales on the Eastern side of the United States, their goal was to give the breeders a place to market their cattle. We want to continue to do that today. And with the influx of new breeders, we want to continue the relationships that exist because of these cattle. For seven years, G&G hosted its Fall Roundup and had some great support. The new ranch isn’t conducive to that event anymore so, after looking at some options and the development of the programs, we thought that a sale would be a fun way to go about continuing the part. The regions outside the hub of Texas and Oklahoma don’t have events going on every weekend in the spring and fall. There are really only a few a year. Outside of our own events, our next closest here in VA is the Southeastern Futurity 11 hours away and the Wisconsin Sale 14 hours away. We wanted to create that gathering atmosphere and a good time again, once more, before winter. We’re also continuing the tradition of a futurity with the sale. This has been an overwhelming addition to the East coast, conjuring up a tremendous amount of support. From entries to the sponsorships, we can’t thank you enough. We can’t thank everyone enough who have supported this event thus far. If you look through this book you’ll see some amazing cattle. We asked these consignors to dig deep and, when they showed us a pending consignment we told them, “I think you got better. We want to show- case your cattle.” And they dug deeper. Like we continue to say, this sale belongs to all those wanting to grow these east coast markets. Its success is derived from the industry’s participation. Look at the amount of ads run and look at the small sale size. Why’s that matter? People didn’t want to put in anything but what they were proud to give. They wanted to put their best in. And of course we can’t forget our sponsors. The East Coast Longhorn Classic took the idea of a sponsor very seriously. For many events, this is just a donation. We tried to spice things up a bit with 0% commission for our sponsors. We wanted there to be as much value for their dollar as possible. And, we hope, more value than their dollar. We even had two corporate sponsors in John & Christine Talley and Joel & Rebecca Miner who had no consignments but still wanted to support the event. Our goal is to continue to help develop the Longhorn market and help grow these regional markets as best as possible. We can’t do it and wouldn’t dream of doing it without you.

Issued by The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Animal Health and Food Safety Livestock Brand Commission P. O. Box 1951 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70821 Mike Strain DVM Commissioner Citizens of Louisiana: Louisiana’s livestock industry, valued at nearly $3 billion, contributes significantly to the state’s economy. Livestock producers face many challenges, like high input costs, unfavorable weather, an uncertain economy and an ever-changing regulatory environment. I understand these challenges and face them with you. As a practicing veterinarian, former state legislator and your Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry, I believe our future is bright. Opportunities are great but we must lead the charge. If we take advantage of the latest advances in science and technology along with our abundant natural resources, infrastructure and proximity to major trade routes, Louisiana can grow agriculture and forestry into the future. The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) Livestock Brand Commission inspectors investigate all aspects of farm- related crimes in the state, including livestock thefts (cattle, equine, hogs, emus, ostriches, turtles, sheep, and exotics), farm machinery and equipment. The Commission plays a large role in protecting producer’s property. The brands listed in this book assist inspectors in identifying and tracking the movement of livestock in Louisiana.

  • 2020-Monarch-Rate-Notice-Docket
    July 15, 2020 Dear Valued Customer: I have been astounded by the resiliency of Texans during this extraordinary time. On behalf of all our employees, I want to thank you for doing your part—and for your words of support for our workers. We appreciate you very much. Today, I have some important information for you. On July 15, 2020, Monarch Utilities I L.P. filed a request with the Public Utility Commission (PUC) for a rate review. You are receiving notice of this rate filing because you are a current Monarch Utilities customer, and we want to explain the need to adjust your rates from time to time—and answer questions you may have. Staying safe and operational As an essential service, water and wastewater utilities are vital to our lives. They are also the most expensive utilities to build and maintain. At home or in your place of business, you expect clean and safe water to always be available. But the process is far from simple. The resources that go into this often-unseen infrastructure and intensive water processing work are substantial. Over the past four years, Monarch Utilities has invested over $35.1 million on system upgrades across the state to keep your water and wastewater systems safe. This is how we act as stewards of safe water. We maintain and upgrade the infrastructure needed to keep water safe and flowing. Periodically, we must recoup those costs of capital improvements already made with rate adjustments. This keeps us in business to serve you. How this affects your household Spending more money on running your household is never easy.

  • Oil Industry Historical Markers of Harris County a Topical Collection
    Oil Industry Historical Markers of Harris County A Topical Collection Compiled by Will Howard Harris County Historical Commission Heritage Tourism Chair INTRODUCTION This chronological list specifies of over 40 oil industry markers selected by the presence of key words. In some cases below, the dates are estimates. Also sometimes I have emboldened selected words to attract the reader’s attention. Along the way persons, geographical landmarks, a ranch, a ferry, cities and communities, houses of worship, a cemetery, schools, commercial and medical buildings, houses, a company, industrial facilities, an airfield, and finally a ballroom were captured as words in the markers’ titles. The Table of Contents and alphabetical Index reveal the depth and breadth of the oil industry as omnipresent. The markers’ inscriptions reveal even more. Other markers might be added if explanatory contextual notes informed the reader of the particular connection. Closer, better informed reading could identify more. The list does only offer a patchwork of some Harris County stories and faint references. But as such it does offer a partial skeleton on which others can offer other bones, connective tissue and whole new organs. It makes clear that some additional markers could be appropriately established. ~~~ * ~~~ Oil Industry Historical Markers in Harris County, Texas Page 1 Table of Contents by Chronology Dowling, Richard William (Dick) ca. 1860s Autry House 1921 House, Thomas William ca. 1866 Aldine [Community] 1923 Moonshine Hill 1887, 1904 Fondren Mansion [Colombe d’Or] 1923 Naval Works at Goose Creek 1903 Temple Beth Israel [now Heinen Theatre] 1925 Humble, City of 1904 Sullivan, Maurice J. 1927 First United Methodist Ch of Humble 1907 Katy, The City of 1927 Lee High School, Robert E.

  • World War I Period Markers
    Marking the World War I Era: 1914-1919 the Years in Harris County and Houston, Texas via Texas State Historical Markers Compiled by Will Howard, 2015 Harris County Historical Commission, Heritage Tourism Chair Our residents were distantly and intimately touched by the War in Europe, the Great War prompted in September 1914 by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand as he sought to impress his imperial family and is own anticipated inheritance upon the Slavic people of the Balkan territories. Our newspapers covered his death lightly, but did follow the unfolding trail of Europe’s entangling alliances. Unknown to most, German authorities began quietly but actively physical and social sabotage in 1915, in other than Texas states. The U.S. delayed entry under after the Lusitania’s sinking in 1917. The historical markers’ texts herein provided express a direct war connection or often represent normal life during 1914-1919. Some incidental personal dates are included, not all. These collected texts present an odd, patchwork story as strung together here. They were not originally intended to tell a smooth story of World War I, but rather more narrow mini-histories on specific topics, persons, or buildings. Even so, the readers can imagine themselves as attending a family reunion or business or religious convention here in Houston in 1920. Each marker represents a local story told by somebody in the crowd. Maybe those Houstonians paying closest attention to the early stages were business concerns with international interests and recent immigrants. Our most popular stories recall the establishment of Ellington Field for the new-fangled airplanes’ pilots and Camp Logan for traditional land forces training.

As a naval architect, Manzolillo traveled extensively, ships, images, and artifacts that trace maritime navigation collecting artifacts from around the world. He eventually from the Bronze Age to the present. The collection is so decided to share them with the public, and Houston offered extensive that the museum has outgrown its space and has a logical place to do that. Hence, Manzolillo began channel- plans to move to a larger site along the Houston Ship Chan- ing his resources to create a museum to engage people of all nel, a fitting place for visitors to discover the wonder and ages in the history of ships and sea exploration.
